“Included among our church vows or pledges is the statement: "We also engage ... to seek the salvation of our kindred and acquaintances."
Motivation: The Savior said to the eleven that they were to wait at Jerusalem till they had received power from on high – wherein he alluded to the Holy Ghost coming upon them. This is what we want; we want the spiritual infilling of the Holy Ghost so that our lives become power-filled witnesses for Christ.

Application: In a world preoccupied with formulae, prescriptions and regimens for success in virtually every aspect of life, Christians are first and foremost called to “be” – to, by the character seen in them and upon their experience of Christ, witnesses of the incredible, life-changing name of Jesus. Their transformed lives provide unimpeachable witness of Jesus Christ, our only Lord and Savior. If you would be kept from temptation, come and trust him, too, and may you hear your Master say to you, “You have been witnesses unto me!" Amen.
